Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman

I ordered Orange is the New Black from the
library after catching an episode on TV.Until I was reading the book I didn't realise it was autobiographical!

It is
always hard to know exactly how authentic an autobiography is but this one is
worth a read.Not only do you get a bit
of insight into the life of a prisoner, you also follow Piper's progress to
what can be described as a redemption – or at the very least becoming a better
person.

Piper
manages to make some grim stuff hilarious at times while overall still pulling
on the heart strings.

Not my
usual thing – but I loved it.I haven't
had time to watch the series yet so I have no idea how closely it follows the
book.
